In this "charming, witty, and tender" rom-com, a celebrity fitness instructor faces off against a jaded journalist (Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author). This sizzling, slow burn romance is for fans of 27 Dresses and Jessica Joyce! 

Jo De La Cruz should be on top of the world. As one of spin’s hottest instructors, her workouts stream into thousands of living rooms, her waiting list is harder to access than Area 51, and even her hair has its own social media page. But Jo’s struggling from a decade in the spotlight—which is when she meets the annoyingly handsome journalist who claims her job is just yelling at people from a bike.

Converting a hater is a challenge Jo can’t resist.

Only nothing about Silas Anders matches her expectations. He throws himself into her classes, he’s genuinely interested in Jo’s hobbies, and—most surprising of all—he knows what it’s like to struggle with mental health. Between all-you-can-eat-diner lunches, thrifting adventures, and sizzling summer nights, Jo might even be catching feelings. But as buzz for the article skyrockets, Jo discovers that the man she’s been falling for may, in fact, be the one scamming her.

Will trusting him break her heart—or lead to a love worth riding for?

  • "Charming, witty, and tender."
    Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just for the Summer
  • "A deft debut from an author I know is going to become a lot of readers' new favorite. The chemistry between Jo and Silas was palpable, but it was the way they really saw each other and grew to respect one another that made this book something special. From the mental health representation to the heartwarming and hilarious friend group, there was just so much to love in this swoony romance. I feel like I have a favorite diner spot now, I feel like I have inside jokes about cauliflower rice, I feel like I once broke down crying in an intense spin class. I lived inside this book the whole time I was reading it, and loved every minute."
    Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of The Art of Catching Feelings
  • "An extremely charming slow-burn romance that asks us to dig past first impressions and get vulnerable to get to the heart of who we are. Ana Holguin has all the makings of a must-read romance author."
    Zoraida Córdova, USA Today bestselling author of Kiss the Girl
  • "Graced with a charmingly complex pair of protagonists and written with both a sharp sense of humor and great insight into the challenges living with anxiety can present, Holguin’s deliciously fun debut both entertains and enlightens."
    Booklist
